The cache (when it is not passive) is > very, uh, active. Oops. Yes, you're right, I had set it to t, since I wanted ticked and dormant articles to be cached (if I read the manual correctly, only articles explicitly marked with '*' are cached when the cache is passive). I'll reread the manual a couple of times... I still think the manual is a little bit misleading when it says that a persistent article "just won't be deleted", though.
